Ballarat Synthetic Race 2

Mcgrath Ballarat Mdn Plate

Stake: $34,880

MEISHO (10) resumes and hasn't been beaten far in Group and Listed contests over this trip. She goes fresh and won a recent jumpout. She won't know herself in Maiden grade, and with average luck, she can win. IMMERSE (9) resumes and has switched from James Cummings to the local McEvoy stable. She brings two narrow defeats from the provincials and has won both of her jumpouts. Coffey is engaged, and she won't have to improve much to threaten. HEAVENLY CONQUEST (8) resumes for the premier stable and two back she missed a whisker at Sandown-Lakeside as favourite. She maps well and will be naturally improved. ZOUCAT (7) peaks off two close-up placings at the track and led the latest. This looks harder, but she will give a sight.

At debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn-Sw on July 29 over 975m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Fornof carrying 58kg at $21. Poor gate and looking elsewhere.

Second-up. First-up after about 18 months raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Swan Hill 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 29 over 975m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Bridgeitall with 57.5kg at $151. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on February 22 2024 over 1107m, slow going 9 len behind Grinzinger Ace carrying 57.5kg at $41. Happy to risk.

Comments

Resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fourth of 9 at Warrnambool V Gold Strike April 29 over 1000m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Mrs Iglesia carrying 57kg at $15. When resuming last campaign second of 7 at Morphettville in the LR Without Fear April 12 over 1050m, 3.5 len behind Petit Artiste with 55.5kg at $1.35. This is an ideal race to kick off. Draws awkwardly but is the one to beat.
